Enhanced control over format and resolution

Hiero now gives even greater control over the resolution you’re using in the timeline. You’re also now able to specify comp resolution and output resolution independently to match the timeline, plates or a custom resolution.

Create Comp script improvements

Create super-streamlined composition scripts from Hiero’s timeline, with fewer nodes and a cleaner layout. Composition scripts now maintain concatenation, reducing the time taken to set up shots for further comp work or distribute to other artists.

Track blending modes

We’ve added 11 more blend modes to choose from when overlaying tracks in Hiero's timeline, including Multiply, Color Burn and Screen. These let you design complex blending effects that match the methods available in the node graph, and preview them in real-time. Timelines with these overlays can be read by HieroPlayer.

Performance and stability improvements

This release is focused on improving performance, boosting stability and offering enhanced functionality in the areas you told us matter most: export, playback and more.

Timeline updates

A host of new features and improvements mean Hiero's timeline toolset is now even better. Now includes enhanced audio handling, new in-timeline Soft Effects (including a real-time keyer and color correction), and huge inroads in enhancing performance.

OCIO integration

Artists can now save time with an even simpler color management process: we’ve integrated OpenColorIO into Nuke's root LUT management, allowing you to follow the same processes for accessing OCIO LUTS as for any other type.
